RYA Coastal Skipper

RYA Coastal Skipper

Become a trusted skipper!

Advanced skippering techniques for yachtsmen and women with considerable knowledge of sailing and navigation, wanting to undertake coastal passages by day and night.

Like the Day Skipper course, this course consists of skippered passages in a variety of situations. Each trainee will skipper more challenging passages and learn more about passage planning, pilotage by day and night, boat handling, safety and emergency situations.

You should have theory knowledge equivalent to the Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore shorebased course beforehand as there is insufficient time to teach you theory during the week.

Coastal Skippers should be able to undertake more difficult passages by day and night and handle the yacht in more demanding conditions. By the end of the course you should have the knowledge, if not the experience, to become a Yachtmaster.

Before this course, it is advisable to take a Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster shorebased course or to read and study The Complete Yachtmaster by Tom Cunliffe.

About us

A network of dedicated sailors, suppliers and boatbuilders work closely together to help you to get out there cruising in safety, comfort and style.
Specialised in Hallberg-Rassy boats, we offer (shore-based) theory and (onboard) practical courses on all levels. Seamanship is built by practice, experience and knowledge and we work closely with the RYA to help you develop your confidence in your own pace. Training is offered in a positive, joyful atmosphere, strictly limiting the number of participants, providing maximum learning experience. There are sail training legs for everyone - even if you just wish to relax on deck!
Sailing should always feel safe, comfortable and stylish. It's easy to feel confident and relaxed when you have an experienced and open hearted skipper throughout your cruising holiday.
Once you feel you are ready for an own boat, we guide you through your boat buying process, helping you to choose and refit the same, if needed.
